Product Review
The master of S/M erotica returns, with his trademark blend of psychological insight and ingenious sexual situations.
Patrick Califia’s characters are people who can’t get a cab at night: vampires who prey on drug addicts on the Lower East Side, self-hating Mormon missionaries, baby butch dykes searching for worthy dyke daddies, hermaphrodite private investigators, transsexual streetwalkers, older butch tops — rough-mannered but compassionate — FTM community activists, femmes who need to be taught a lesson, femmes who need to be left in charge. In Boy in the Middle, the legendary Patrick Califia — sex radical, writer, and provocateur — returns with eleven erotic stories from tender initiations to raunchy role play to welt-raising, hardcore S/M scenes. There’s no safe word at this “black leather pajama party†of a book.
